MSI has released the Katana 16 Dragon Princess Limited Edition 2026 in China, targeting gamers who want a high-refresh-rate display without paying a premium price. The laptop ships with a powerful Intel Core i9-14900HX processor and a 16-inch 2.5K screen that runs at 240Hz.

The device sits in MSI’s Katana lineup as a limited-edition model featuring a specific aesthetic theme. It pairs the Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU with an NVIDIA GPU identified in the source as the RTX 5060. The system includes 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD for storage.
MSI designed the chassis to be thin and light for a gaming laptop of this class. The unit measures 21.95mm in thickness and weighs 2.3kg. It houses an 80Whr battery and supports a total power release of 200W, split between 85W for the CPU and 115W for the GPU.
The display covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut to ensure accurate visuals. Connectivity options include two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C ports, three USB 3.2 Type-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, an RJ45 Ethernet jack, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
